This article doesn't make much sense...?
I'm sorry, but it is sad how naive the impacted Filipinas appear to be. What were they thinking, going for mail order marriage with other Asians? What did they expect? Even mail ordering to non Asians would be risky, but at least there would be a chance for respect there.
I'm TDY at Camp Casey for a couple of weeks and have been amazed by the number of Filipinas around here. I understand they have all but replaced the locals in the clubs of Combat Alley. (But have not gone to check, dear. I swear.)
Encountered several of them while around the PX the other day. Our driver, a Spec 4, was telling me he's engaged to one, so I guess at least some of them have set their sites higher than this article implies.
